assessing the leadership style and communication skills of a leader who has been in the news recently for their handling of challenges such as police reform, gun violence, increased crime, violence against LGBTQ+ individuals, and restrictions on transgender youth

You are to select one leader that has been in the news related with how he or she has dealt with recent challenges such as the protests for police reform, gun violence, increase in crime, violence against gays and restrictions on transgender youth, etc. Examples include Trump, Biden, police chief in Fayetteville or Raleigh, mayors of cities in NC, Governor Copper, members of Congress, candidates running for president or some of the church leadership. You need to research specific actions and communication (actual quotes) that the leader has carried out. You then need to use concepts from Chapt 8 and 12 to describe their leadership style/strength and their communication skills. Be clear to state the concept from the textbook and define it. You may also find concepts from Chap 11 useful. You should end the paper with your assessment of the leader’s effectiveness. The paper should be a minimum of 3 full pages, double spaced. If you are below the minimum go back and find other news coverage of the leader.
